Wigan Album

Wasn't Julie a Stringman? Or something like that. They lived in out old house :)

Yes Barbra your correct.Sadly some are not with us now.But it must be one big extended family now.Spoke to Jim and his wife Dorothy only a couple of months ago. Still living just before the grapes at Orrell.

I missed Richard off the names.

Hard to believe they all lived in that house, it was cramped with just 5 of us in there!!

I think the order of the front row is Richard, John, Ronald, Jean and Kenneth. Christopher is standing in centre of pic, with stripe across jersey.
Lilian smallest on back row, and it may be Brian in open neck white shirt.

this is a picture of my nan with my aunties and uncles my dad brian isn't on this picture

hi, my mum kathleen is stood behind my nan (esther) i think, looking forward to showing her the other photo!

Kelly ask your Mum does she remember taking me for a walk in my wheelchair?

mrs gregory used to work at st teresas club didn't she? teresa married brian gough. i was married to mel mccrea from rivington drive

Jim is in the open neck shirt and I thought one other was missing (Brian) just like my memory.Visited Jim and Dorothy a couple of weeks ago.At leasty I did say some one would correct me.Ask Kathleen to email me, if she is able to.Thanks Martin.

Kelly Wright are you related to Steve and Julie Wright at Orrell......!Martin

Perhaps taken when Brian was in the Army, hence his absence.

Thomas was my Dad!!!
